It's Time To Let It Go, Next Year, You Never Know

Merry Christmas - Ed Sheeran & Elton John

When his best friend Lily starts dating James Potter, Remus is forced to get reacquainted with Sirius Black, whom he went to high school with years ago. And whom he hated, with his haughty demeanor, stupid pranks, handsome face and dazzling smile.

Conversation with: Lily Evans

December 31st

11.14 am

James? James Potter?

Yes, Remus. James Potter.

James Potter from high school, James Potter?

Yes, Remus. James Potter from high school.

Didn’t he smear green paint in your hair?

We were thirteen!

God, James Potter and his friends were so obnoxious.

That was twelve years ago, Remus! We’ve all grown up. Besides, they mostly aggravated us because of how mean they were to Severus, and let’s be honest, in hindsight, they were kind of right about him.

Yikes, yes.

I’ve gone out for a coffee with James a couple of times now, and he’s rather... charming.

Good god. I mostly remember Potter and his friends thinking being popular made them better than everyone.

We thought reading Hemingway made us better than everyone! We were all cringey at high school.

And I thought they mostly aggravated us because Potter acted like being on the football team made him some kind of hero, and always messed up his hair to show off what an ‘athlete’ he was.

Ah, yes. I had forgotten about that! It’s kind of endearing when you look back on it, don’t you think?

James Potter, endearing? My god, you’re a lost cause.

Well, I thought they also mostly aggravated us because you used to walk into a wall whenever Sirius Black so much as looked at you.

Shut it, Lily!

Just come to James’ New Year’s Eve Party with me, Remus!

Ugh, why do you even want me there?

Because, if I don’t take you to a party, we both know you’re going to sit alone on your couch watching cheesy Christmas movies while eating your weight in chocolate, and neither of us wants that.

... Fair enough.

13.43 am

Oh, and by the way, Remus, in case you’re wondering,

Yes, Sirius Black is still James’ best friend, yes, he’s still hot, and yes, he’s single.

Shut it, Lily!

Lily is clutching James’ upper arm and throws her head back laughing, while James spins her around on the dance floor. Remus looks on while sipping from his wine glass. He hates to admit it, but they do look good together.

“Lily Evans and James Potter. Now, if you would’ve told me that twelve years ago, I would’ve said you were crazy.”

Remus takes a deep breath to steady himself before he turns around.

Now, Remus thinks he can safely say, without bragging, that he looks better now as an adult than he did as a teen. He’s more comfortable in his own skin, gained a bit more muscle, so that he’s slightly more lean than lanky, and his face has gotten less blotchy. What Remus is trying to say is that it’s perfectly normal for someone to look better in their adult years than they did as an awkward teen. However, when someone peaks in high school, they should do just that: peak in high school, and not have the damned audacity to run into Remus twelve years later on some New Year’s Eve Party having bloody gone from handsome boy to gorgeous man.

Sirius smiles at him. “Hi. I don’t know if you remember me? We used to go to the same school, and had some classes together. I was-”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes!” Sirius beams at him. “That’s me! I’m glad you-”

“No,” Remus says. “I mean are you serious? About telling me you’re Sirius? You seriously think I wouldn’t know you’re Sirius?”

Sirius shrugs. “I wasn’t sure you really noticed me back then.”

“How could I not?” Remus exclaims. “Sirius Black, one of the stars of the football team, charmer of both teachers and students, the heartthrob of the school, unanimously voted Prom King.” Remus lets out a dry chuckle. “Really, I should be surprised you remember me.”

“Are you kidding me?” Sirius says. “Remus Lupin, captain of the debate team, with his witty sense of humour, who could talk for hours about a book he loved, wore those oversized jumpers and always nibbled on a bar of chocolate before an exam to calm his nerves.”

Remus stares at him, speechless. “You... You really noticed all that?” He eventually manages to say.

“Of course!” Sirius says. “You never cared what anyone thought of you. I really admired you.”

“You admired me?”

“Really, Lupin,” Sirius scoffs. “Why do you think I was constantly trying to get your attention or talk to you? But you would never say much more than ‘shut it, Black’, ‘stop acting immature’, or ‘don’t be such a show-off’. That, or give me the infamous Remus Lupin Eye-Roll. And when I approached you, you’d always get out as fast as you could. Sometimes even so fast you’d actually walk into a wall!”

Remus cheeks heat up and he looks away. “I can’t believe you’ve ever given me a second thought.” He tries to sound casual while taking a sip of his wine.

Sirius shrugs. “Second thought, third thought, inappropriate thought...”

Remus spits out his wine and starts to cough, while Sirius smiles smugly at him. “You... You did not...” Remus says in between coughs.

“Oh, Remus,” Sirius sighs. “I had such a crush on you back then.”

“You did not!” Remus protests.

“I did too!”

Remus shakes his head. “No way! You’re taking the piss! There’s absolutely no way!”

Sirius crosses his arms over his chest and raises an eyebrow. “And why not?”

“Because!” Remus says. “Because you were Sirius Black! Popular, funny, outgoing Sirius Black! Sirius Black who could have anyone he wanted, Sirius Black!”

“Who I wanted was a boy with big, amber eyes, floppy, honey-coloured hair, and the most beautiful smile I had ever seen, but he wouldn’t give me the time of day.”

Remus runs a shaky hand through his hair. “I’m sorry. I was just... intimidated by you. You were such a charming, graceful and just flawless person. And I was this weird, awkward and clumsy boy. Just your presence made me feel so foolish! And I guess I covered up those feelings with anger, by snapping at you.”

Sirius looks at him thoughtfully for a moment, and then nods. “No need to apologize. I’m just glad to know it wasn’t only because I irritated you.”

“It wasn’t only that, no. To be honest, I kind of admired you too.”

“Aaaw, Remus!” Sirius says with a broad grin. “Are you saying that maybe you had a little crush on me as well?”

“Maybe,” Remus says, trying to suppress the smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. “A little.”

Sirius takes a step forward. “You know, I’d really like to kiss you right now.”

“Oh?” Remus says, raising an amused eyebrow, while his stomach is doing flip-flops.

Sirius takes another step forward, placing one hand on Remus’ waist and gently touching his cheek with the other. He waits a moment to gauge Remus’ reaction, but Remus just leans into the touch.

In the back of his mind, Remus can hear his fifteen-year-old self scream: ohmygod SiriusBlackistouchingme SiriusBlackwantstokissme SiriusBlackisgoingtokissme. He’s proud of himself for outwardly keeping his composure while he gives Sirius a coy smile. “I think you’re supposed to wait until midnight.”

Sirius smiles back. “I did my waiting. Twelve years of it.”

Rem, where are you?

Look, I know I kind of got caught up in dancing with James, but I came to this party with you, and I want to celebrate with you!

And don’t give me any of that ‘just have fun, don’t mind me’-crap. I’m not the kind of person who takes her friend to a party where he hardly knows anyone only to abandon him for a boy!

No matter how good that boy looks in those jeans...

22.36 pm

Okay, you’re not checking your phone. I don’t know if that’s a good sign or not? Maybe you’re not as bored as I thought? Maybe you don’t want to talk to me.

22.45 pm

I’m still searching for you!

22.50 pm

I FOUND YOU

HOLY SHITE

REMUS JOHN LUPIN

You know, when I brought you to this party, I was hoping you would finally give Sirius Black the chance to finally have a proper conversation with you, but you went straight to STICKING YOUR TONGUE DOWN HIS THROAT!

... You two are really going for it, huh?

Geez, don’t you boys ever need air?

Remus where are your hands wandering off to?!

Oh okay.

Well, good for you I guess.

I bet you’ve been wanting to get your hands on that for a very long time;)
